QUINCY,  ILLINOIS,  is  very  properly  known  as  the  "Gem  City".  It  was  settled  in  1825  by  Governor  John 
Wood,  and  to-day  counts  her  population  at  40,000.  Naturally  beautiful,  it  stands  proudly  on  the  toj  of 
a  high  bluff,  and  looks  down  one  hundred  and  forty-five  feet  upon  the  "Father  of  Waters",  the  grand  old 
Mississippi,  which  shimmers  by.  Much  of  its  beauty  is  due  to  the  constructive  ingenuity  of  Mr.  John  Batschy,  the 
architect,  who  has  given  us  those  beautiful  residences  in  Park  Place,  besides  the  Gem  City  Business  College  and 
many  other  handsome  public  and  private  buildings.  Baldwin  Park  has  become  a  feature  of  Quincy,  and  is  already 
well  known.  The  Soldiers  and  Sailors  Home,  built  by  the  State  of  Illinois,  at  a  cost  of  several  million  dollars,  is  a 
magnificent  institution,  and  gives  friendly  shelter  to  over  a  thousand  veterans. 

Quincy  contains  over  four  hundred  industrial  enterprises,  the  largest  one  probably  being  the  foundries,  which 
have  an  annual  output  of  over  120,000  stoves.  Electricity  is  used  quite  extensively  here:  Street  cars  are  run  by 
it;  the  city  is  lighted  by  it;  many  factories  prefer  it  to  steam.  The  railroad  facilities  are  very  good,  being  an 
important  junction  point  for  three  lines  of  the  great  Burlington  Route,  which  runs  thirty-four  passenger  trains  in 
and  out  of  Quincy  every  twenty-four  heurs.  One  of  its  lines  runs  East  and  West,  and  two  North  and  South.
